Agricultural Notes. The crow destroys more grasshoppers than any other bird. He mast, therefore, bs one of those blessings in disguise we hear so much of. Clover fields will be benefited by the application of a bushel or two of plaster, as early this month as possible. There is no better place on the farm to pat wood ashes than on ciover. A little dry sand covered over potatoes when they are first pat in the cellar will destroy any unpleasant odor they may have. A sprinkling of dry, air-slacked lime will mitigate a tendency to rot. A Colored farmer says that planting one or two flax seeds in each hill of potatoes will keep away the much dreaded potato bugi. Hope some of oar farmers will try the experiment and give us the result for - publication. - A sprinkling of lime, plaster or sulphur over the leaves of the strawberry at the first appearance of the blight is suggested as a remedy for this disease, which has made such sad work with, the foliage of this delicious berry. Hens do much better when allowed a free range outdoors than when confined. In France it has been found that with fowls allowed considerable freedom 20 per cent, only of their eggs fail to hatch; with less freedom 40 per cenT. failed and in close con finement t0 per cent, were cot hatched. Corn cobs dipped into molasses and rnspended from limbs in the plum trees hare saved many a crop of plums. The corculio will lay his brood into the sweetened earn cob instead of the plums. From six to 12 prepared corn cobs are sufficient for an ordinary sizd tree. Collect some soot from a chimney or stove where wood is used as fuel, put into an old pitcher and pour hot water upon it. When cool use it to water your plants every few days. The e Sect upon plants is wonderful in producing a rapid growth of thrifty shoots, with large, thick leaves and a great number cf richly-tinted roses. There is a well-known farmer living near Toronto who, the Toronto Globe says, is in a position to make the following proud bosst: Last year four cows on his farm had tight calves; eight sheep had 17 lambs; one mare had two colts; one goose had two broods of goslings, one of nine and the other of 11, and lastly, his wife had t wins, a boy and a girl. A most valuable remedy for heaves, and is said to be a sure care: Forty sumac buds, one pound of resin, one pint of ginger, balf a pound of mustard, one pint of unalacked lime, one pound of epsom salts, four ounces of eum guiacnm, six ounces of cream tartar. Mix thoroughly and divide into 30 powders, and give one every morning in their feed before watering. A new wheat pest has made its appearance in some parts of North Carolina and is fast destroying the crops. It is a weed that has sprung up simultaneously with the wheat and grows to about the same height. Nothing of the kind has ever been seen before, and the people call it Dutch cockle. It has a white bloom on the top and bears numerous poos, each of which contains four seeds. The Cultivator says of squashes; "The seeds of the differant varieties are very apt to mix when planted in close proximity, and hence it is very tard to get pure seed, the seed growers often being too careless arxrat the location whence they have seed. Unripe or partly decayed squashes are oiten fed to stock and make good fat. They should, however, have the seeds removed first, as these have a diuretic effect injurious to cows." A farmer says: ,;Four years ago my farm was fearfully infested with rats. They were so numerous that I had great fears of my wnole crop being destroyed by them after it was housed; but having. two acres of wild peppermint that grew in a field of wheat, cut and bound with the waeat, drove the rats from my premises. I have not b9en troubled with them since, while my neigh bors have any quantity of them. I felt convinced that any person who is troubled with these pests could easily get rid of them by gathering a good supply of mint and plac lag it around the walls or base of their barns." The Lew is ton Gazette says every paper in the United States ought occasionally to keep the fact Defore its readers that burnt corn is a ceii-in and speedy cure for hog cholera. The best way is to make a pile of corn on the cobs, effectually scorch it, and give the affected hogs free access to it. This remedy was discovered by accident, by E E Locke, Esq., at the time his distillery was burned in this county, together with a large lot of stored corn, which was so much injured as to be unfit for use. was hauled out and greedily eaten by the hogs, several of which were ' dying daily. After the se xnd day not a sin- , gle hog was lost, and the disease entirely disappeared. The remedy has been tried since in a number of cases, and has never failed. MMkand Beef. National Live Stock Journal. The Journal reaches such various classes of dairymen, who produce milk for such various ends, that we shall be aiding many by discussing the subject heading this article the feasibility of producing milk and beef at the same time. It is generally believed by dairymen that this can not be done that a cow can not give a remunerative yield of milk and lay on fat and flesh at the same time; but this opinion is not in accordance with well-conducted experiments, both in this country and in England. The late Mr. Horsfall, a very painstaking and careful ex- , perimenter in dairying in England, detailed " his in tfce Koyal Agricultural Society's Journal, by which he proved most concluaively with his whole herd that a cow can be fed so as to maintain a full yield of - milk and lay on flesh satisfactorily at the same time, and that fie found this the most - remunerative plan of dairying. It !oes not follow that all dairymen would find this plan the most profitable. His market for ' beet was as tempting as nis mar set lor mux. But our purpose in dUcussing this question ' is not, at present, to recommend it for its profit, but to see it it is practicable to pro " duce beef and milk at the same time. Mr. Horsfall, while experimenting in reference o the effect of nigh feeding upon milch cows, discovered that a t arrow cow led abundantly on appropriate food for pro' during milk, would go on producing a re munerative yield for a lone season, much past the usual time of bearing a second calf: and. taxing a out irom tnis, in stead of buying fresh cows and calves at high Tjrioes. he selected stood farrow cows, dis carded because they were farrow, bat yet ei vine a fair yield of mux. These could be had at low figures; and he had found that under his system of feeding they could be made to increase their milk very largely, yielding the best quality, and, at the same time, making rapid progress in fattening for slaughter, drying them off only during the last month oi fattening, no touna nts yieia of cream about as much as from fresh cows, which produced him a profit; and when the ' cow was ready for the butcher he made another quite satisfactory proht on her sale. . His system was found successful in other hands, as was lately proved in an address before the London Farmers' club by Mr. Alexander, the manager of the Aylesbury Dairy company, at Kensington. He detcribed his practice with a large number of cows in that establishment, xt keeping all in aucb high condition that they were ready for be:f tt any t'mc; acd that this ofttn

saved loss in case there should be found any symptoms of an approaching fever. This plan he found to prod ace the most remunerative yield of milk, and, at the same time, enabled them to dispose of their cows at a profit. . ' , . This system has many followers ' in this country on farms near cities, where beef is as marketable at all times as milk or butter. Mr. Horsfall was most judicious high feeder. He always fed a portion of roots daily to his cows, with oil cake, bran meal, malt combs, nicely cured hay and straw. He was sure to give such variety as always promoted the health of the cow, as well as a large yield of milk and flesh. High feeding in the hands of some who do not study the physiological condition of the cow, and feed too largely of such heating food as corn meal, without emollient and sedative effects of oil cake and roots, often produces fevers and disease. But there can be no doubt that judicious high feeding will produce a remunerative yield of milk and fatten the cow at the same time. Every dairyman should study his own business so thoroughly as to know how and under what circumstances this can be profitably done. Breeding and Raising Horses. . Buffalo Express. Three general and leading qualities are requisite, namely: size, speed and beauty. Small horses, however pretty, never bring very good prices. The time on fast horses has been brought down so low, and the increase in breeding this class of horses has gone forward so rapidly, that there is a very large number of common timers. Of all the horses bred for speed only the exceptions develop the speed to bring high prices, and instead of the little pretty horses mentioned which usually combine docility, you have as a rule t mall-sized nervous horses, moderately fast, which sell only at low figures. There is another great drawback to the producer. It is very expensive training, fitting and developing trotters, and no one can be sure that the hor.e will reach a speed that will make it valuable. But there is a class of horses that may be bred and raised with a reasonable degree of certainty and profit the large, well-formed carriage and draught horses. They should be not less than UV, hands high, and the more elegant the proportions and the finer the action (especially of the carriage horse) the more money will he bring. He should have a good foot, fine limbs, long sound body, good length and nicely rounded hips, long neck, well cut out where it joins the head, and withal a head denoting intelligence wide between the eyes, with fine cut nose

and wide nostrils. Such a horse will be docile, tractable and safe, when a horse with less intelligence will be more generally un manageable and unsafe in times of danger. The horse should stand np square on his feet ail around, nave a nice Keen action and fine style of generally action, and the whole make up should be symmetrical. How can the farmer reach all this? If he has not the means to purchase the right kind of brood mares he must come to it by degrees. He must make use of sires that possess these qualities, even if he has to breed from common dams. If the colts are like the sire he is on the road to success, and he will very soon have valuable coach horses of the kind desired, which will brine at four years old $200 and upward. It coats no more to breed and raise a choice ppan of young horses which will sell readily in trie market tor from $4UU to oUU than to raise commoner kinds at one-third the price or less, and it certatnly would be a wise de parture for those who are surTdnng from the results of an overdone and unprofitable dairy interest What is more needed is for farmers to read more, think more, and get out of many of the old ways of thinking and doing. If a certain farm industry has been pursued until it is overdone, then drop it. or some portion of it, and adopt such other means as seem to point to more satisfactory res nits. Time to Cut Hay. New Hampshire Patriot. We have had the opportunity, through our exchanges, and the perusal of State and dis trict agricultural reports; to find many dis cussions on the subject of the best time to cut hay, and we give what may b'j considered a fair deduction of opinions therefrom. Dairymen, and such as raise young cattle of special descriptions, almost universally favor, for their peculiar purposes, the hay which has been cut before the seed has been confirmed and hardened; whereas those who own and use working cattle, such as lumber man, insist that early-n,Ht hay proves to them little better than rowen or aftermath; that it has not sufficient stamina lor their profitable use; and, consequently, that they prefer bay the teed of which has been allowed to ripen, but not harden so as to be shed in manufacturing. Ho one of the controversialists opposed the theory, that it is much batter to err on the safest side, which they upheld early cutting to be. At a recent meeting of the Massachusetts board of agriculture, Hon. Charles L. Flint, who is its secretary, and an acknowled authority on the subject of grasses, said, -in substance, that tbe practice bad generally been adopted in Massachusetts of cutting the hay crop a fortnight earlier than was tbe custom 23 years ago; and in that respect, there had been great gain, although it was possible that grass might be cut too earlv. The best tiiae to cut grass, every one would admit, was that when it contained the most nourishment; but when wa9 that point? woody fiber was not nourishing animal food. . It gave bulk at the expense of more valuable qualities. The taste and instinct of the animal taken as proof, early cut hay was more palatable, more to the taste, than late cut, overripe and overdried hay. The tender, immature grass blade, with its young, freBh leaves, was more acceptable to animals left to exercise their own tastes in their pastures; for any one could not help observing that they shunned such plants as had run np and formed flower stalks, and made choice of tbe low, leafy ones which were the most tender and juicy, and which contribute more readily and effectively to nourish their pysteni. What is indigestible can not furnish much nourishment, and tbe best means for animal nourishment is what the early cutting and curing of hay produces. Green Manuring. The sowing, growing ard plowing into the soil of green manures is by no means a modern feature of agriculture.. The practice was common among the ancient Romans, es their authors, who wrote long before the Christian era, prove; and Columella and others, also, who lived subsequently to that period, make frequent mention of green manuring. - Bat it may be said that this system had for centuries been included among "the lost arts" until the opening of the present one, when it was restored, by dint of its absolute necessity, in several of the European nations, and took the place f the previous custom of fallowing. The consequences have been extremely advantageous, for, in many sections of the British isles, the Netherlands. aod in Germany, lands that were almost worthless previously have been brought into wonderful productiveness by green manuring. Red clover, buckwheat, turnips, rye, rape and vetches were used in localities best suited to their growth, severally turnips, rape and vetches being tbe kinds that best suited the climate and soils of tbe more northern countries, and these seem also best adapted to our New England requirements, which are extending yearly. Ten times the quantity of clover and other seeds are now used among us for green manuring, com pared with that required i3 years ago. Treatment of Calves. - Good practical authority says that in the rearing of calves very much depends on the regularity of feeding them the common practice being to give them tbeif food bat twice a day, when they generally receive as much as tbnr stomachs will hold. , ine digestive organs are thus frequently impaired,

and the animal becomes stunted or diseased. Whatever food may be given to young calves, care should be taken that it be not changed too suddenly. A calf most have attained a certain degree of strength before it can dispense with . the food most natural to its age, and thrive without the aid of milkv This kind of nourishment should bs. therefore, continued as long as possible; but, even when that has been withdrawn, and the animal has begun to eat grass, still tbe substitutes which had been supplied instead of milk should be partly continued until its appetite prefers tbe pastare, and while it is in a growing, thriving condition. Farmers do not figure like merchants. If they did they would find that a large portion of their calves should be turned, as soon as possible, into veal the amount of milk consumed in raising them being of more value than they ever will realize in more matured shapes. . , , Household Hints. , When molasses is used for cooking it is an improvement to boil and skim it before you use it. It destroys tbe unpleasant raw taste, and makes it almost as good as sugar. Keep a heavy stone on your pork to hold it down. In the summer this stone is an excellent place to keep fresh meat on when you are afraid of its spoiling. Soap your dirtiest clothes and soak them in warm water over night. Use hard soap to wash your clothes, and soft to waeh your floors. Soft soap Is so slippery that it wastes a good deal in washing clothes. A little salt sprinkled in starch while it Is boiling tends to prevent it from sticking; it is likewise potd to stir it with a clean spermaceti candle. A few potatoes sliced and boiling water poured over them make an excellent preparation for cleansing and stiffening old, rusty black silks. Green tea is also good for this purpose. Milking a Wounded Teat. Davenport Gazette. One of our deepest milkers came up with a teat badly torn upon a barbed wire. It was inflamed and very tender from tbe wound, and, though a gentle cow, she would not bear to Lave it pressed in such a way as to draw the milk. We formed a tube from the barrel of one of the larger wing feathers of. a chicken, and succeeded admirably in drawing the milk. It was done as quietly as an ordinary milking, the cow chewing her cud most of the time. It was then an easy matter to dress the wound, and by repeating this a few times that which might otherwise have resulted in a spoiled udder, as well as a great deal of trouble, will be as sound as before. Ture is no patent on this milk tube, and the expense is insignificant. Under an Avalanche, f London News. The Simplon pass is the route by which moie than 10,000 Italian workmen annutlly make their way into By itaerland and France

in quest of employment, aid it was oi some 32 of these wayfarers that the visitation descended. Such had been the snow fall that the courier could not prosecute his journey with sledges. A stalwart pedestrian offered to take the letter-bags, and, after herculean en arts, be reached tbe hospice at 11 a. m., and there found 70 Italian workmen en route partly to Switzerland, partly' for France. He said that if they wanted to start they must do so that very day, as every minute's nostponement increased the risk from the snowfalL Accordingly, three companies of these Italians set oat at ones, and by 1 o'clock in the afternoon arrived at Refuge Six, where they rested, as the snow was coming down with increased force and density. Two sturdy Swiss youths attached to the refuge offered to conduct the travelers, and off the three companies set once more, with their two guides at their head. Hardly, however, had they emerged from tbe middle gallery called La Vieiile Galerie the most dangeioas part of the Simplon route before an enormous avalanche descended from the mountain, carrying with it the two guides and an Italian workman. The rest ot the travelers who remained in the gallery were so far safe, but both ends of the gallery were blocked up with snow. They were in despair, and already the cold was beginning to tell on the children of the party. Suddenly a man's voice rose above the wailing: "We might as well die under an avalanche as under a gallery. Let us try and get out" He set to work and succeeded in excavating a passage through the snow, and arrived half dead at Refuge Six, whence the alarm was passed on to the hospice. By this time it was 7:30 in the evening. The monks attached to the hospice repaired to the scene of disaster, and with the aid of two servants of Refuge Six they saved the inmates of the gallery and accommodated them comfortably at the hospice, leaving a few whose strength could carry them no further at the Refuge. Ti three companies of travelers having been sattled for the night, the monks were anxious to return and do what could be done for the two guides and their companions who bad been carried away by tbe avalanche, but the darkness and the constant succession of avalanches that were thundering at short intervals over the preciiices forbade. One of the two guides, an athlete in strength and nimblenecs, mm aged, as he rolled down with the avalanche, to' keep his alpenstock in his band, and when he came to a dead stoo he f jit that the point of his stick just protruded from the surface of the snow above him. Working away with what strength remained to him he extricated himself from the avalanche, but there bis powers failed him, and he was able only to call for help. His cries reached the Refuge, and its inmate, with a rervant of the hospice, set out in the direction of tbe guide. But they bad not walked five minutes before an immense avalanche hurled them to the foot of the mountain. The inmate of the Refuge perished, leaving a young widow and a two-year old boy. The servant of the hopioe, however, escaped; though when rolling with the avalanche he thought he must have died every minute from the suow and earth that found its way into his mouth, and was likely to choke bim. ne turned on his face, and so relieved himself of the mauvaise bouche, till, the avalanche having stopped, he disengaged himself from the snow, and after severe efforts regained the refuse in a fainting state about 2 in the morning. During that terrible night he said the roar of the descending avalanches was deafening. Two students at Williston liteminary, who are very fond of wearing fchowy clothes, recently took pains to get two suits of the same material, which they were sure could not be duplicated. Unfortunately, however, they left some pieces with a local tailor, in whose shop they were seen by a couple of Chinese students, who procured suits exactly like them, and tbe four appeared in the chapel on the same morning with suits of the same cut and material. The' chagrin of the two swells may be imagined. - ' Time flies, and so do diseases of the skin when that Incomparable purifier of the cutlol and beautlfier of the complexion, Glenn's Sulphur Soap, is used to disperse them.
